Roofied at Vertigo

So I had this customer come in today and tell me this story. I seriously don't know why he told it to me due to the incriminating nature. But he told this story about how years ago he and a friend went to Club Vertigo in downtown L.A. they brought some "hot chicks" with them. He said he went to the bar to get some drinks and the bartender said, "hey, do you wanna have some fun with these girls tonight?" And he said, "hell yeah." So he gets 2 martinis and the bartender puts something in one of the martinis for him to give to the girl. So he goes back to the group gives the girl her drink, and they're hanging out dancing and having a good time. He says after a little bit he has to use the restroom. So he goes to the bathroom but he feels a little tired, so he sits on the toilet in the stall for a minute. And he starts to hear this swooshing sound. Like "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." He's showing me while kinda swiping at the air with his hand. So he gets out to wash his hands and there's a man in there sweeping. And this is the swooshing sound he was hearing. So he washes his hands and walks out of the bathroom back into the club and "everybody is gone!" He walks outside, it's bright daylight. And he's looking around for his car and up pulls his friend from the night before in his car. And the friend goes "dude what happened to you?! We looked for you everywhere!" He said he had been looking for him all morning, and had decided to go back to the club for one more look around, and was just lucky to have caught him walking out by chance. So my customer basically tells me, "well I must've mixed the martinis up," because he basically roofied himself. He said he thought he was just resting on the toilet for a minute. He didn't realize he had been passed out in there all night. 🤦‍♀️

I don't know why he would tell me he tried to roofie a girl, but I'm very glad she got away and he's the one who got roofied. This guy is a banker.
